Research projects and resources
My main early modern research interests are crime and legal history, women and gender, and Welsh and British history. I’ve been collecting and creating online resources for early modernists since c.1999.
A research portal for the early modern period (c.1500-1800 CE), which lists websites that are free to access and focuses on high-quality resources suitable for advanced research, study and teaching. (resource)
A website for exploring and visualising data created by and for The Power of Petitioning in the 17th Century (TPOP). (research)
Building on the earlier London Lives Petitions, a project about paupers and petitioners who gave accounts of themselves to authorities in London Lives records. (research)
A digital edition of my MA thesis research on sexual defamation in 17th-century York. (research)
